Poet Analysis

Subject(s): HUNTING; HUNTERS;

BLOW thy horn, Hunter,
Come blow thy horn on high:
In yonder wood there lies a doe,
In faith, she will not die,
Come, blow thy horn, Hunter,
Come, blow thy horn, jolly Hunter.

Fare thee well, Lady,
The day doth break on high:
And hounds and horn proclaim the morn
Is surely passing by:
So fare thee well, Lady:
Now fare thee well, dearest Lady.

Sound the horn, Huntsman,
Now sound the horn on high:
The chase is done, the race is won,
And homewards now we hie:
So sound the horn, Huntsman:
Now sound the horn, jolly Huntsman.
